There really aren’t words… I was 8 years old when 9/11 happened and I didn’t realize how much I didn’t know until I listened to this book. Garrett Graff does a great job capturing the emotions of the day and showing the many perspectives of those involved. There’s some disturbing stuff that is not for the faint of heart. The audiobook is excellent and is definitely the way to go. It’s a 45-person cast covering the voices of hundreds. The inclusion of media segments and air traffic communications with the hijacked planes took my breath away. I am forever changed from reading this book.
